This is the second week we are days behind on bakery freight, at least four days behind, if not more. I only work weekends since I’m also in school. 

My hours were also shortened this week so I’m only getting 6 hours a shift (excluding my lunch). I do my best and try to push as much freight as I can, but I still have to do priorities twice a shift, as well as help with any thing that comes up such as doing an OPU, covering deli when they’re on lunch, write on a cake for a guest, etc etc. Half the time the freezer is also a mess so I have to sort the boxes people pile at the very top of the racks over the week, making it difficult for me to do pulls (I am also under 5 foot, so it’s quite hard for me). That eats up my time too.

I haven’t had a FB lead for over a month, so produce and grocery leads are the ones checking on me. I was told I should be able to do 3 u-boats with the time I had today. Is that realistic? I could definitely have done that back in grocery when I worked there, but doing bakery takes much longer imo due to temp control and backstocking in the freezer, as well as some other small things like best by labels and FIFOing. Every time I’m in, I’m the only person doing freight for that day. Occasionally there is help from another department, but that’s very rare in my experience. My hours fluctuate a lot, but this year most of my shifts were 5 or 6 hours, some are over 8.

I just feel bad and I feel like I’m not doing enough, but then I have to keep telling myself I’m one person trying to pick up the slack of multiple people while also doing my job.

Also what happened to the MyTime app?
